A comedy legend has spent today in Hull – and he treated himself to a carvery.

Bob Mortimer, one half of Vic & Bob with long-term comedy partner Vic Reeves, tweeted a picture of his half-eaten roast, saying: “Toby Carvery Hull … basically I’m just kicking it out of the park these days.”

Originally from Middlesborough, Bob began to perform with Vic Reeves – real name Jim Moir – on the Vic Reeves Big Night Out.

The pair received huge acclaim for their comedy panel show Shooting Stars and their most recent sitcom, House Of Fools.

Vic Reeves hails from Leeds, with Yorkshire playing a big part in their material, with common references to Hull and Bridlington in their comedy.
